At Myerscough College keeping up to date with industry requirements is paramount. The Level 2 Land & Wildlife is a one year course designed to give you a broad understanding of the countryside industry, with a view to progressing to one of our Level 3 courses, or to start work within the industry. Within countryside conservation, you could be surveying and reporting on the condition of an outdoor area, encouraging people to enjoy the environments around them, carrying out habitat management work or monitoring a section of river prone to floods.
The management of land for the conservation of flora and fauna, general recreation, environmental education and urban regeneration requires a blend of skills. These include an understanding of ecological principles, a sound knowledge of management and the practical ability to carry out conservation techniques – from river catchment systems to rural and coastal habitats.Many job opportunities exist within the conservation, gamekeeping and commercial sectors, and as part of the programme you will have the opportunity to develop countryside craft skills such as hedge laying and drystone walling, useful for a range of future careers.
